How can you trust the sales of health products?"

What kind of tricks are hidden in the sales of health products? Uncle Zheng decided to go and see for himself. He frequently attended lectures on health products and went undercover. When he got home in the evening, he wrote down the content of the day's lecture in his diary, and slowly he realized the "routine" of the sales pitch.

For more than a year, Uncle Zheng wrote a "Fraud Prevention Diary" of more than 50,000 words. Yesterday, he exposed his diary to the media, hoping to remind more elderly people not to believe in health product sales scams.

There are only 22 health functions of functional health foods approved by the Ministry of Health, namely: immune regulation, regulating blood lipids, regulating blood sugar, delaying aging, improving memory, improving vision, promoting lead excretion, clearing the throat, regulating blood pressure, improving sleep, Promote lactation, resist mutation, resist fatigue, tolerate hypoxia, resist radiation, lose weight, promote growth and development, improve osteoporosis, improve nutritional anemia, have auxiliary protective effects on chemical liver damage, beautify, and improve gastrointestinal function. Food labels cannot contain or imply therapeutic effects. Any promotion that exceeds the scope of the above 22 health care functions is illegal.

2. The logo and batch number of the health food. Prepackaged food containers (food labels) of health food approved by the Ministry of Health should have the Ministry of Health’s approval number for the food and the health food mark specified by the Ministry of Health. Domestic health food is: Wei Shi Jian Zi No., imported health food: Wei Shi Jian Zi No.

3. In addition to the production date and shelf life like ordinary food, the labels of health food should also indicate the suitable group of people, consumption amount and consumption method.

4. Health food cannot replace medicines. As a drug, it must undergo a large amount of clinical verification and be reviewed and approved by the State Food and Drug Administration. It has a certain effect in treating diseases; as a food health product, it has no therapeutic effect and does not need to be clinically verified. It only tests for contaminants. , bacteria and other hygienic indicators, it can be put on the market if it meets the requirements. For human diseases, no health food can replace the treatment of a doctor.

5. Because the health functions of health foods are suitable for specific groups of people, the purchase should vary from person to person. Due to differences in everyone's living environment, living habits and age, the health products they choose are also different. Therefore, you should choose to consume them according to your specific situation.
